Then it's field hockey. A fine sport because the chicks where mini-skirts. And if you give the sticks nets it's la cross, also a fine sport and one played by many hockey players in their youth (you can always tell by the grip on the stick, watch the thumb).
Double darn!
Well, how 'bout we give them only one stick alternating possesions after 3 stick holders are retired by the goalie who uses his hands to deliver the ball to the stick holder who attempts to put the ball in play by hitting it with the stick and after doing so running to fixed stations at four corners of the playing field. If the ball delivered by the goalies backup players arrives at the station before the hitting player or the hitting player is touched by the goalie backup player with the ball when not on a fixed station or the ball is caught before hitting the ground the hitter is out. Scoring would be one unit per hitting player reaching the fourth station "safely"?Also make the ball smaller and harder-no air- and limit the goalie and backups to 9 players on defense and allowing up to four players on offense if each can safely reach a station?
Ahh, this is getting complicated....
